I am interested in applying the emerging use of the internet in political campaigns to distributing documentaries and other video...
NYTims Adam Cohen reports from the Daily Kos blogger convention held in Las Vegas http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/22/175959/875 that 2008 will be the campaign of internet-powered politics. He talks of the sea change that brings - handing issues, fundraising and power to a grass-roots network of bloggers who are trying to figure out how to herd the cats called the internet.
One 15-year-old conventioneer from rural Alabama made a big splash with her homemade video skewering the Bush Administration Youtube.com (Ava Lowery's video).
One day, Cohen says, there could be a Daily Kos television station staffed by volunteer bloggers and sent out over the Internet as streaming video, going up against Fox News. On Election Day 2008, voters could get video clips on their laptops and cellphones from Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen or the Dixie Chicks — targeted by geography or demographics — urging them to vote, and telling them where to do it.
Whatever. How does one promote and distribute production in general? And how does the cash flow?? The sea change is here - I'm just a bit caught in the waves at the moment.

'I do' short and sweet with pop-up weddings
SIX couples tied the knot on just one beach at Noosa yesterday, in a new style of pop-up wedding.
Each of the couples had a private Valentine's Day wedding ceremony with the same celebrant at Noosa Beach's Maison le Plage resort, but shared the location and set-up with five other pairs.
Weddings in a Box is the brainchild of civil celebrant Lynette Maguire who provides "boxed ceremonies" to couples who don't want the financial or emotional burden of a big white wedding.
Mexican bride Selene Trevino and New Zealand-born groom Tristan Lowe were remarkably relaxed when they spoke to the Daily's reporter, just four hours before their big moment yesterday.
The pair had met online a year ago and lived in Brisbane together. They had never heard of pop-up weddings before but enjoyed having the ceremony, flowers, make-up, photography and other details taken care of, for just a few thousand dollars.
"All you need to worry about is the dress," Ms Trevino said.
They wanted to be married in multicultural Australia, where they'd met.
"Our families cannot be here with us, so we wanted something simple and really private," she said.
Her large Catholic family was a little surprised at her decision to marry outside a church.
"My family feel like if you're not getting married in a church you're not really getting married, so we are waiting to do that when we get to Mexico," she said.
Mr Lowe is a "Kiwi country boy" who moved to Australia eight years ago and worked for Telstra.
He said he wouldn't know what he really thought of the "boxed wedding" until it was over.
"I think it's a neat idea, the concept of it," he said.
"We both don't have family over here so it didn't make much sense to have a big, lavish wedding. So we just wanted something nice and simple but didn't want the registry office type of thing."
The bride and groom were joined by 10 of their Australian family and friends in the half-hour ceremony.

A head-on collision Saturday morning killed a teenage driver from Wendell and a passenger.
The driver of the other vehicle was taken to Wake Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening and later released, the State Highway Patrol said in a new release.
Christian Lynn Lockamy, 16, of Wendell was driving a 2006 Saturn east on Rolesville Road near Wendell about 10:15 a.m. when Lockamy veered left of center and collided head-on with a 2008 Mercedes, the Highway Patrol said.
Lockamy died at the scene, and Lockamy's front-seat passenger was taken to Wake Medical Center but later died. The passenger was identified as Than'ayha Mary McCullers, 15, of Wendell, the Highway Patrol said.
Alcohol or speed do not appear to be factors in the crash, the Highway Patrol said.

Zantrex 3 Review
Tired of being the odd one out because you're carrying some extra pounds?
Are you looking to get rid of extra weight so you can start feeling healthy, shapely and attractive? In addition to diet and exercise sometimes the right supplement can make all the difference! We're always looking for the next best supplement to share with our readers, and after coming across Zantrex 3, we decided to take a closer look for you.
Zantrex 3 Fat Burner
It is essentially advertised as a pill that could help shed extra pounds without having to do anything; I got pretty curious and wanted to check out the details ( no such thing as a miracle pill) you cannot expect to sit around and do nothing besides take a fat burner to see results. So that claim is very bold and a little questionable. Hard work pays off – period.
Does Zantrex 3 Work?
The official site claims that Zantrex 3 is an extremely efficient rapid weight loss formula. The formula was designed to increase your energy levels and at the same time, aid in rapid loss of weight too. There are even claims that Zantrex 3 users experienced huge weight loss averaging 546% more than other popular fat loss pill's. Of course this quite a lofty claim, so we set out to find out more.
Zantrex 3 is known for its excellent marketing strategies; however, this may come at a price. As it is not subject to any type of FDA scrutiny, some medical researchers that have explored the side effects that can occur with the use of this supplement.
What you mostly want to know is whether or not, this product works. I went through a lot of different Zantrex 3 reviews, and, most of them were positive as they indicated that apart from some very slight side effects like headache, vomiting and nausea, there weren't too many problems as users could take these supplements without any reported issues.
Main Ingredients in Zantrex 3
Zantrex 3 is mainly composed of proprietary ingredients which can be categorized under 2 separate categories. They are namely weight loss and energy. The main ingredients that are responsible for weight loss are as follows.
- Yerba mate
- Damiana
- gaurana
When it comes to the ingredients that are a part of the energy component, they are as follows.
- Trimethylxanthine which is the chemical name for caffeine
- Gaurna extract
There are nearly 24 different ingredients that are a part of Zantrex 3 but the ones that have been mentioned above are the key ones among them. If you really want to know what are the other ingredients that are a part of the list, it includes the likes of green tea extract, black pepper extract; Asian ginseng, cacao seed kola, rhodiola crenulata and some others.
My Results
I was looking to cut some extra fat after a bulking phase, and so I would take 2 capsules. I don't ever start with full dosage and so I started with half the estimated dosage.
I must add that within an hour, I began to feel the same set of side effects as I had read in most Zantrex 3 reviews. However, the side effects started wearing off early too because after an hour or two, I started feeling normal again. Also, I must add that I did feel an enormous burst of energy. I fetl like I could have ran a marathon.
When I took the Zantrex 3 blue bottle or a week or so, I also managed to lose some extra pounds. I managed to lose a sum total of 5 pounds and after a week of taking the supplement, there were absolutely no side effects either. Further, the extra energy did help me devote more focus to my workout sessions as well.
When it comes to Zantrex fat burner, I am going to recommend this product. There are various reasons for this. First of all, I am one of those supplement buyers who is always skeptical of the cost factor. As you can get this supplement for around $20, this is an inxpensive option when compared to others, it looks to be a good choice for me.
Apart from this, it is one a supplement that actually manages to provide you the results you want. So, if you are tired of the extra weight that is accumulating in your body, this might be a great supplement to opt for to help you reach your goals.
Also, if you are skeptical of the side effects that can occur, Zantrex is a supplement that will mostly have no major side effects on your body. While I did experience some brief edginess at first, this quickly wore off, and I did shed around 5 pounds of fat with the use of the product, in addition to enjoying a boost of energy that helped power my workouts.
Thus, for all those who want a larger dose of energy and want to shed some extra pounds, Zantrex 3 looks to be one of the best options around. Though we always recommend accompanying any diet program with exercise, without making major significant changes, you can lose some extra fat with this effective burner.

Seoul, South Korea (PRWEB) June 28, 2016
BioCore Korea and Accium BioSciences, (Seattle, U.S.), international providers of pharmaceutical microtracer solutions, today entered an agreement to extend joint microtracer solutions to the global pharmaceutical industry.
"The collaboration between Accium and BioCore working makes great business sense", states Dr. Dueker, former founder of Vitalea Science and now Managing Director at BioCore. "Both companies have specific business needs that are addressed in the partnership and we expect to expand the business collaboration as we gain experience working together".
Microtracer clinical studies are isotope based analyses that enable characterization of the human metabolism and disposition of a developing drug often at the earliest stages of clinical development. These studies are widely viewed as one way to reduce late stage failures that can cost a pharmaceutical company hundreds of millions of dollars in time, resources, and lost opportunity.
"We are excited to embark on joining of specific services", states Accium's President and CEO, Glenn Kawasaki. "In doing so we will bring much needed efficiency the pharmaceutical AMS markets, and simplify the experience for our pharmaceutical customers".
The two companies in fact already share a unique and common heritage - both companies can trace their core skillsets back to the pioneering days of biomedical Accelerator Mass Spectrometry research at the University of California and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Accelerator Mass Spectrometry is an atomic counter of carbon isotopes was originally developed for archaeology as well as nuclear surveillance. It is associated with microdosing and microtracing in clinical research, though its full impact has yet to be realized.
The integration of the services of BioCore, Korea's largest bioanalytical CRO and Accium, the first commercial provider of AMS services in the United States, brings scale and stability to the microtracer CRO business. BioCore will provide traditional mass spectrometry bioanalysis, metabolite identification, AMS sample pretreatment and clinical site management skills. Accium in turn provides access to its multiple AMS instruments and experienced pharmaceutical study directors.
The integration creates a single contact point for pharmaceutical companies that require both traditional and microtracer services during early clinical development. It also bridges the Asia-Pacific region, the fastest growing region for clinical microtracer studies. Korea in particular is investing heavily in these early clinical capabilities.
To learn more about AMS services provided by BioCore or Accium and this cooperative agreement, please contact Stephen Dueker (sdueker(at)bio-core(dot)com) or Accium BioSciences (info(at)acciumbio(dot)com) at (206) 281-3915 ext. 301.

U.S. cloud vendors adjust to Snowden effect, Privacy Shield
Casper says common questions from clients include whether vendors must establish a new subsidiary or build a data center to meet data residency and sovereignty requirements. He pointed to the deliberate expansion of data center facilities by AWS, Microsoft and Google in recent years.
But even that sometimes isn't enough. In one scenario, which Casper calls the most extreme of its kind, Microsoft owns a data center in Germany that is actually operated by Deutsche Telecom. "Providers must adapt," he says. "Because of Snowden, Safe Harbor and so forth they have to adapt to the market somehow."
U.S. cloud companies should be killing it in Europe
IDC's data suggest U.S. cloud vendors have finally gained a solid footing in Europe. But the reality is that vendors could be performing much better in Europe if it weren't for collective distrust of U.S. technology firms, which dates back as far as the U.S. Patriot Act in 2001, says Casper.
These concerns have persisted through Snowden's revelations, the defunct Safe Harbor Framework and its replacement, Privacy Shield, which governs the processing of personal information of EU citizens on servers in the U.S.
More than 200 companies, including Microsoft and Salesforce.com have been certified under Privacy Shield. AWS is still in the certification process, though it is more of a formality. AWS customers have full control of the movement of their data and have always had the choice of the region in which their data is kept, wrote AWS CISO Stephen Schmidt in a blog post last month.
Vogels says AWS provides customers data protection agreements via contract clauses that have been vetted by the European Commission's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party.
Casper says that the privacy concerns and associated EU regulations have perennially dampened market forecasts for U.S. technology vendors in Europe.
"Without any of these factors [Patriot Act, Snowden, Privacy Shield], the cloud would have taken off stronger in Europe than it actually did," Casper says. "It is an ongoing discussion: How much power do U.S. cloud providers have over European content?"

Associate Vice President for Campus Activities
Federal Laws
Use of Bond Financed Facilities
The Director of Conferences and Pryzbyla Management will, in advance of any lease or license or other arrangement involving Private Use of tax-exempt bond financed facilities ("Private Use Arrangement") or any change to a Private Use Arrangement, review the proposed Private Use Arrangement with the General Counsel in accordance with the Contract Policy.
The Director of Conferences and Pryzbyla Management must forward information identifying to whom the space was dedicated, the period for which the space was dedicated, the dollar amount of the income received and the percentage of space used to the Executive Assistant for the VP of Finance within a month after the arrangement has finished or by April 30 of the fiscal year, whichever is earlier.
Records to be kept are all documentation evidencing use of Facilities by public and private sources, including copies of management contracts and research agreements. All records should be kept in a manner that ensures their complete access to the IRS for so long as they are material, which is as long as the bonds are outstanding, plus 3 years after the final redemption of the bonds.
Unrelated Business Income Tax
26 U.S.C. § 511(a)(2); 26 C.F.R. §§ 1.511-1 to 1.513-4
Income from an activity that is a trade or business, regularly carried on, and not substantially related to the conduct of the institution's educational or scientific research purposes will be considered unrelated business income and is taxable. The IRS has opined that income derived by a college or university from fees received by alumni or the general public is unrelated business income. Those items sold by the university to students, faculty and staff that are required or otherwise necessary for courses of instruction or fall under the "convenience exception" will not constitute unrelated business income. With the exception of items that have the university logo affixed, the IRS takes the position that non-educational items with a useful life of more than one year are subject to the unrelated business income tax (UBIT). The IRS holds that an institution must have an accounting system in place to deal with sales that are subject to UBIT and those that are not subject to UBIT.
Use of university facilities in unrelated activities will be subject to UBIT. Mailing list income is not subject to UBIT if the list is sold or exchanged to other exempt organizations. A corporate sponsorship issue arises when a company makes a gift to the school and in return receives certain publicity and exposure beyond a mere acknowledgment of the payment. The IRS will closely examine the relationship between the university and any related entity that has potentially unrelated business activities.
The Director of Conferences and Pryzbyla Management is responsible for reporting unrelated business income from Conference or Pryzbyla activities to the Controller.
Legislative and Political Activities (Tax)
Summary of the Law
In order to maintain their tax-exempt status under 501(c)(3), private colleges and universities must not engage in, or interfere with, political campaign or lobbying activities. Failure to follow these proscriptions could result in loss of tax-exempt status for the institution, or imposition of an excise tax. The university cannot endorse any particular candidate. For a more complete explanation of the prohibitions from the IRS, please reference the above Legislative and Political activities link.
The Director for Conferences and Pryzbyla Management has responsibility for ensuring that use of conference space does not violate the tax policy against promotion of a particular candidate for office. Any rental of rooms must be in accord with these rules, i.e. rental of space for any campaign activity would have to be for a fair market value.
DC Law
This position is responsible for collecting DC sales and use tax for lodging, meals, equipment, linens, phones and other services provided by the university to external groups.

Distributions: Screen grabs of the interactive GoogleEarth Map
GoogleEarth is available as a free download (if it is not on your computer already). After installation, simply download the .kmz file to the left and it will open automatically in GoogleEarth. Over 500 island dwellings will then be displayed. By clicking on each one, detailed information from both the National Monuments Records and recent research will appear. Different icons for each site indicate a particular classification. The majority are listed as crannogs, while others are listed as duns (forts), fortified islands, etc. In many cases, zooming in will provide detailed views of each site. Some still contain the remains of houses and causeways which are still visible from aerial photos, especially stone sites in the Western Isles. I hope you enjoy the map and please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Roquan Smith picked up his first award of the postseason.
On Sunday night, Smith was named the recipient of this year's Butkus Award, which goes to the best linebacker in the country.
This award comes shortly after Smith was named the SEC Championship MVP following his performance of 13 tackles and a sack in Saturday's 28-7 win over Auburn.
This season, Smith has totaled 113 total tackles and 5.5 sacks.
"Roquan Smith proved to be the overwhelming favorite in this year's collegiate linebacking class," according to the award selection committee. "He's always around the ball and is very tough, fast and instinctive, with exceptional football reflexes. He makes his presence felt all over the field and hits with the type of explosion that has come to define the Butkus Award. As terrific of a football player as he is, Roquan is highly regarded by teammates, coaches and support staff for his intelligence, intensity and leadership traits."

Traditional woven textiles, through the woven motifs and quality of yarn, express the beliefs and cultures of a particular society in addition to their decorative nature, color and beauty. However, their beauty is secondary to the value these societies place in fabric since they are not just woven to cover or keep a person clothed and warm. They can show the rank or standing of a person, bond families together, have religious significance or act as protection against the spirits. All societies around the world once shared this attribute but for most of us it is now lost. In South East Asia in general and Lao in particular they are still lucky to attach an importance to weaving fabric that has lasted until today.
Until very recently textiles in Lao were woven for the family's personal use only. An intricate fabric in silk would have denoted a rich family since only they could afford the expensive yarn and the time to weave a complex piece. In the same way, the various styles and fabric motifs denote tribal origins from different areas. As people migrated, they brought their weaving skills and specific designs with them. Even today, an expert can most likely tell the origin of a design and the name of the tribe that created the piece.
Lao is a poor land-locked country that has only recently begun to develop and change. Because of the past geo-political situation, the Lao people stuck more firmly to their weaving traditions than countries such as Thailand, whose economic growth offered their people other work opportunities rather than traditional employment. Today, many Lao families still augment their income by weaving on home looms and by selling their fabrics in their local markets or to a weaving cooperative.
Globalization, extensive travel and the growing popularity of Lao as a travel destination means that many people are familiar with Lao textiles and have even purchased a scarf, traditional skirt or cushion cover from the country. Soie de Lune has also taken advantage of the beauty of Lao textiles, the skill of their weavers and the country's rich patrimony of designs, to bring this very special fabric to the world of interior design.

Antiretroviral therapy drugs unlikely to avoid HIV spread Researchers believe antiretroviral therapy will never be effective in stopping HIV epidemics even if it's made universally obtainable in poorer countries, and that widespread use could even lead to an increase in the numbers infected with HIV. Research released today in PLoS Medicine by a team from Imperial University London reveals a model which predicts how different strategies for increasing access to ART might affect HIV an infection rates. The modelling found that while ART decreases the viral load of infected individuals, decreasing the chance of HIV transmission thus, slowing disease progression allows patients to live much longer, increasing the number infected and potentially the number of new infections they'll cause cafergot-and-imitrex-differences-and-similarities.html .

Caribbean success story – drop in HIV infections in the Dominican Republic The last 10 years has seen a sharp drop in HIV infections in the Dominican Republic, resulting from reductions in risky sexual behavior largely, according to a paper in a dietary supplement to the May 1 problem of JAIDS: Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. JAIDS is usually released by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a right component of Wolters Kluwer Wellness, a leading service provider of business and information intelligence for students, professionals, and establishments in medication, nursing, allied health, pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry about-herpes-virus.html . The good news might be part of a broader downward tendency in HIV prevalence in the Caribbean, although there is normally lingering concern over a likely bisexual sub-epidemic of HIV transmission among males having sex with men in the Dominican Republic. Daniel T. Halperin, Ph.D., M.S., of Harvard University College of Public Wellness is lead author of the new statement. Based on a review of the most recent information on HIV-Helps and related sexual behavior in the Dominican Republic, the researchers report an overall decline in HIV prevalence because the mid – to past due 1990s. Among women seen at prenatal clinics, the infection rate decreased from two % in 1995 to 1 % in 2006. An even greater decrease was mentioned among teenagers aged 15 to 24: from two % to 0.5 %. Reductions in HIV were mentioned in other key populations aswell, including woman sex workers and males seen at transmitted disease treatment centers sexually. There was also a decrease in the high rate of HIV contamination among impoverished citizens of previous sugarcane plantations , who are mainly Haitian migrants. The decrease in HIV appeared to result from changes in sexual behavior, including increased use of condoms – especially among female sex workers. Surveys suggested that up to 85 % of males modified their sexual behavior due to concerns about AIDS, specifically in reducing their amount of partners. Similar reductions in dangerous sexual behaviors have been reported in African and Parts of asia with declining HIV rates. Related StoriesNew pc model predicts degrees of HIV treatment engagementResearch provides qualified prospects for new strategies to develop HIV vaccineRutgers College of Nursing takes business lead in $6 million nationwide effort to prevent new HIV infectionsAt once, the %age of AIDS situations among men showed little or no change. This pattern suggests that MSM, or bisexual behavior, probably is still an important portion of the HIV epidemic in the Dominican Republic. MSM is certainly highly stigmatized in Dominican society – even after becoming infected with HIV, few males would admit to having sex with guys. [A]n important query that arises can be whether sufficient prevention resources have been targeted to bisexual guys and additional MSM in the Dominican Republic, Dr. Colleagues and Halperin write. Downward styles in HIV prevalence have been reported from in the Caribbean – including neighboring Haiti elsewhere. In the first 1980s, Haiti and the Dominican Republic became the 1st countries in Latin American and the Caribbean to report cases of Helps. At the time, some predicted that HIV transmitting in the Caribbean would explode uncontrollable. However, in the last two decades, several government and other applications have already been launched to control HIV in the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean countries. The brand new paper suggests that the Dominican Republic is certainly, like Haiti, a Caribbean success tale, having slowed the spread of HIV disease generally through increased condom use and other adjustments in sexual behavior such as for example partner reduction. Nevertheless, the risk of complacency is real, and it is imperative to continue applying assertive prevention efforts, according to Dr. Halperin and colleagues. They call for more study to measure how pervasive the bisexual epidemic is certainly, and to develop more effective ways of detecting and avoiding the spread of HIV among MSM. Continue reading

Nevertheless why's the idea that will laptop or computer literacy is incredibly vital?
Precisely why accomplish we should instead commit wedding ceremony understanding textbooks, enlisting for you to laptop or computer collision study course, along with turning out to be "computer well written? inch Formally, to get "literate" ways to know about that will issue, when you already know their standard terminology along with aspects.

Effects of Ultrasound on Microtubules
Sun 24th Apr 2016 at 9:19pm, 0 comments
As I was listening to Dr. Jack Tuszynski deliver his talk at the UIA in Seattle, I was transported back to 'O' level biology lab at my grade school. It was certainly the last time that I had concerned myself with mitosis or microtubules. My memory was jogged into recalling that mitosis was part of cell division and that microtubules were involved in this process.
Dr. Tuszynski was describing his work in the field on oncology. Most treatments of cancer involve either the surgical removal of affected cells or their destruction. But he discusses merely treating the cancerous cells so that they are unable to divide. Obviously if they can't divide the associated tumor can't grow.
Then he reminded us of what resonance can do to a structure and called to mind the Tacoma bridge disaster. Here, in 1940, a large suspension bridge collapsed as its natural frequency of oscillation was stimulated by a fairly light wind. It shows how undamped oscillation at a resonant frequency can result in structural failure. Now firmly back in the realms of physics, I was much happier.
The theory is to use ultrasound to stimulate resonance in the microtubules within cancer cells so they are damaged and unable to perform the necessary functions required to effect cell division. Again, the big advantage, as with most ultrasound therapy; it is non-invasive.
Dr. Tuszynski's work is ongoing at the University of Alberta.

Fourth of July fireworks celebrations are a potent source of community pride. There's no question they should continue in earnest, with red, white and blue sparks lighting up the South Florida sky. You could throw in a hot dog and apple pie if you want to.
Do we really need such a spectacular show in every city of every county? Costing communities tens of thousands of dollars, when local governments are struggling with enormous budget cuts and laying off workers?
Doesn't make sense, but that's what typically happens every year across South Florida.
In Hollywood, city commissioners approved spending $81,000 for a fireworks show on the beach. The amount is $21,000 more than the city spent last year, and will be used to entertain 40,000 people. This is the same city that may have to lay off employees next year due to a $14 million shortfall.
"That's $81,000 that can pay the salaries for two people," said Commissioner Linda Sherwood, who questioned the expenditure. And she's right. Such an approach may have been fine when municipalities had excess revenue to splurge on, but it doesn't work in today's economy.South Florida cities would do better by teaming up with other municipalities for a regional extravaganza. There are plenty of cities to partner with.
It's great that every one is so full of American pride, but this is a time when local governments should be scaling back, not lavishly showing off their patriotism. Plus, there are other ways to display love of country, like being fiscally responsible so America will remain a decent place to live.
That's not to say that all the fireworks should be canceled. The holiday wouldn't be the same without a pyrotechnic display overhead. It just means cities need to be more frugal and creative when it comes to funding such celebrations.
Next year they should do taxpayers a favor and go regional.
BOTTOM LINE: Cities need to collaborate.

Duarte: Avoiding the Road to PowerPoint Hell (WSJ)
To present a complex, technological product, Duarte Design created slides that worked like simple scenes in a movie, each one layering on top of the previous ones to show the full range of the products' features.
I get why "PowerPoint Sucks" and "PowerPoint Hell" are better catchier headlines than "Presentation Sucks" and "Presentation Hell." I really do. But wouldn't it be more honest to focus on the the folks creating presentations rather than the tools? We don't blame Word or Blogger for poorly written books and articles.
Anyway, this is another cool example from Duarte. The layering, building effect is one that would carry over to elearning course designs – especially in text-only courses.

LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has announced the release of the latest feature from veteran contract director Jonathan Morgan, "Dark Secrets," starring Wicked Girl Asa Akira in her first collaboration with the filmmaker since the XBIZ Award-nominated showcase "Asa Akira: Wicked Fuck Doll."
Co-starring Katrina Jade, Kleio Valentien, Bianca Breeze and Britney Amber, this tale of sexual obsession caters to fans of high-end couples erotica. Damon Dice, Ryan McLane and Michael Vegas round out the cast.
As Morgan's tale unfolds, Janelle (Akira) flees in the night from her obsessive husband Darren. She relocates a thousand miles away and tries to begin a new life with a new identity.
Soon, nice guy Ben is smitten with the mysterious new barista at his local coffee shop. After many weeks of trying, Ben finally convinces Janelle to go out with him and they begin happily dating.
Everything finally seems to be going well in Janelle's life, until Darren discovers where she has been hiding and shows up at her apartment. Danger and desire collide as hidden truths are soon revealed.
"Whenever I get a chance to direct Asa Akira, it is always a complete joy," Morgan said. "No other porn star is as professional as her!"
For her part, Akira was quick to return the compliment. "I had a wonderful time doing 'Dark Secrets' for Jonathan," she said admiringly. "Between a fine script, great wardrobe and crazy hot sex, I feel lucky to have been a part of this production. I have two great boy/girl scenes. I can't wait to see the finished product. The fans will love it!"
In addition to featuring Akira in two erotic encounters (with Dice and McLane, respectively), the movie's other sexual highlights include tattooed performers Valentien and Jade in a stylized lesbian pairing. "I love shooting for Jonathan and Dark Secrets was no exception," Valentien said of her role in the new dramatic release. "I'm extremely attracted to Katrina and I really think that it shows in our scene!"
Shot and edited in widescreen 16x9 HD, this new Wicked Pictures DVD includes three bonus sex scenes, a hardcore still gallery and an O-card featuring Akira in sensual repose.

Our beliefs as a church family are simply based on what God has said to us in His book, the Bible.
We have adopted the following motto in reference to that, "The Bible says it, we believe it, and that settles it."
That simple truth brings every believer under His good plan for our life, through Jesus Christ, the way He intended.
The following statements have been written with that in mind.
We Believe that Jesus Christ is exactly who He said He was, the Son of God.
We Believe that Jesus bared the sin of the world on the cross and purchased salvation for every person through His resurrection.
We Believe that Jesus is the only door to Heaven through salvation, which can only be received by grace through faith, by calling on the name of the Lord and confessing Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.
We Believe that once saved, it is the responsibility of every believer to grow in the knowledge of God's will, in the Word of God, and to walk in the knowledge therein.
We Believe Jesus has given ministry gifts to men such as pastors and teachers for the express purpose to help believers to grow in the Lord to be equipped to serve as His body.
We Believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine person of the Godhead and has made His home in every believer. He is in us to help us develop and bear the fruit of God's character and to flow through us to help others as in the book of Acts.
We Believe that Jesus has raised up the local church for three primary reasons:
1. To provide a place of refuge, encouragement and source of Heavenly supply to his children and family
2. To provide a body where believers are joined arm in arm using their talents and abilities He gave them for His cause
3. To be a light and a voice in our community and the world, helping them to see and receive the truth of God's love for them through His Son.
In stating what We Believe, it is important for each of us to know that God has a plan and purpose for our lives. Salvation is just the first step in discovering and pursuing that plan.
It is our prayer for you that you find your pastor and the church he serves in, so you can continue to grow in His grace and fulfill God's great plan for your life.
Pray this prayer.
"Heavenly Father I ask you in the name of Jesus to reveal the pastor you have given to me to grow in the knowledge of you. Influence my steps that will lead me to my shepherd and my church family. Amen."
The following is our statement of Faith as recorded in our Bylaws.
Berthoud Family Church is an Associate Church of Rhema Bible Church. The programs and activities of all Rhema Associate Churches shall be based upon and at all times shall be consistent with the following Statement of Faith:
1. THE SCRIPTURES: The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in the matters pertaining to conduct doctrines (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
2. THE GODHEAD: Our God is one, but manifested in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal (Phil. 2:6). God, the Father, is greater than all; the sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the the Word, flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son, and is eternal (John 15:26).
3. MAN, HIS FALL, AND REDEMPTION: Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." "As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one." Jesus Christ, the son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Rom. 5:14; Rom. 3:10; Rom. 3:23; 1 John 3:8).
Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8).
4. ETERNAL LIFE AND THE NEW BIRTH: Man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life (2 Cor. 7:10; 1 John 5:12; John 3:3-5).
5. WATER BAPTISM: Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36-39).
The following recommendation regarding the water baptismal formula is adopted: to wit: "On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, 'I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.'"
6. BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST: The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance. (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:4).
7. SANCTIFICATION: The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation and Christ's return (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; 1 Cor. 1:30).
8. DIVINE HEALING: Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the church today. (Mark 16:18; James 5:14-25; 1 Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Isa. 53:4-5).
9. RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD: The angels said to Jesus' disciples, "This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven." His coming is imminent. When He comes, " ...the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air..." (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16-17).
Following the tribulation, He shall return to Earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Rev. 20:6).
10: HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION: The one who physically dies without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the Lake of Fire, and therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The Lake of Fire is literal. The terms "eternal" and "everlasting" used in describing the duration of the punishment in the Lake of Fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the presenece of God (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19:20).

Assistant Climbing Guide
A member who has passed the NZMGA Training and Certification Scheme Level 1 assessment in the Climb discipline.
Assistant Climbing Guides are required to work within a supervision programme where a mix of direct and indirect supervision is provided by an NZMGA or ACMG Climbing Guide, or an IFMGA Mountain Guide. There are specific terrain limitations governing the work of Assistant Guides.
Some responsibility for the actions of the Assistant is with the Supervising Guide
Under direct supervision there are no specific terrain limitations.
For an Assistant Guide working under indirect supervision, there are some specific terrain limitations:
- Grade 3 minus (Logan) is the maximum terrain that an Assistant Guide can work on under indirect supervision. For an Assistant Guide to work on terrain above Grade 3 minus, they must be directly supervised by an IFMGA Mountain Guide, or NZMGA Climbing Guide. (Note: This change is to be fully applied as of April 2012. Until then the supervising guide shares responsibility of guide's work actions under indirect supervision.)
- Assistant Climbing Guides with less than 20 days guiding experience may not guide more than one client on routes harder than Grade 1. For example, it is inappropriate for an inexperienced Assistant to guide the North West Ridge of Mt Aspiring with two clients.
- Assistant Guides with less than 20 days logged guiding experience are not permitted to be the senior guide on an instruction course on glaciated terrain with more than four clients.
It is inappropriate for assistants to guide in their non-certified discipline

The Sucker Punch Distortion is what happens when Nick decides to design a high gain pedal. This pedal uses a JFET preamp to drive a 386D chip amp section. The gain that is on tap is reminiscent of some of the early JCM amps, with tons of volume on tap, and a tone control that has a very wide sweep, from thick to cutting. If you're looking for JCM type tones, this pedal will get you the gain you're looking for, and will help you cut through the mix, to get above your loud drummer!
- Face melting tone!
- JFET gain stage driving chip amp section!
- JCM-amp type distortion!
- Huge amount of volume on tap!
- Wide tone sweep, for thick or cutting settings!
- True Bypass!
- Uses 9Volt battery or standard neg. center, 2.1mm power supply.
- Built with top quality components. Lifetime Warranty to the original owner!
- Pedals are currently built to order, and ship within 1-2 weeks of the order being placed, and funds entering our account!

Friends of Lung Foundation Australia Receive Australia Day Honours
Lung Foundation Australia offers sincere congratulations to Dr Susan Jenkins and Mrs Nola Cecins who were both included in the General Membership of the Order of Australia (OAM) for their service to medicine, particularly for their work in pulmonary rehabilitation.
Lung Foundation Australia CEO, Heather Allan said the Australia Day Honours were well deserved.
"Sue and Nola are two valuable members of the Lung Foundation community who have worked closely with us in continuing to develop pulmonary rehabilitation resources.
"They have dedicated their careers to developing clinical resources, guidelines and training programs to assist physiotherapists and exercise professionals establish and run successful pulmonary rehabilitation programs in metropolitan, regional and rural settings," she said.
"Pulmonary rehabilitation is the most effective evidence-based intervention to manage breathlessness in patients with COPD.
"The evidence shows that pulmonary rehabilitation reduces symptoms, improves exercise capacity and strength, reduces anxiety and depression and, reduces hospital admissions1 and ultimately health care costs," Mrs Allan said.
"And, pulmonary rehabilitation is more accessible to patients with COPD thanks to people like Sue and Nola."

Create Strong passwords – How to make it?
Create Strong Passwords: In our way of life we need to secure our important things. Most of us using Computer, Phone and many device. In those device people keep many important data. If those data stolen by someone it will be a sad news for anyone.
So, here I am today share something about- How to create strong passwords for your smart data security. Many hackers and intruders enter computer systems simply by guessing passwords or by using dictionaries and mathematical calculations. If a difficult to crack password was the only criteria, you might select a 20-character combination such as: *d9W>z&gY3k7![pS$f8R but would you ever remember this?
This is very important to create strong password. So how can you create strong password?
1. Avoid the clear
Don't make the mistake of creating passwords that are based on personal information, your login ID, or are simple to guess or locate.
2. Longer Password
One of the features of a strong password is that it is at least 8 characters in length and it should be a combination of mixed-case letters with the addition of numbers and punctuation where allowed.
3. Vanity Plates
How many times have you been driving behind a car with a vanity plate? Were the characters cryptic but easy to decipher? Have you seen these plates?
- CUL8TR (see you later)
- LV2XLR8 (love to accelerate)
- HAPE2GLF (happy to golf)
Consider an easy to remember phrase that can be expressed without complete words and with a combination of mixed case letters as well as numbers and symbols:
- dRkCh0co4me (use a zero in place of the letter O)
- 1H8!meenPeepL
- LvT1meOfff#
Have some fun making up combinations of phrases that have meaning to you but that would not be easy for other people to guess.
4. using of Song Lyrics
Think of a favorite song lyric, book, or poem. The more obscure your choice, the better. Next, create a password from a combination such as the 1st letter of each word of the phrase. Some hacker dictionaries have common songs and phrases built in, and so, you will want to strengthen your password by adding in other characters or personalizing the song in some way. For instance: "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose," might become r1trNr2Xhavsn
You want to avoid obvious geek phrases, of course, such as "Luke, I am your father" or "Beam me up Scotty."
5. Passphrases
Choose 5 or more random words and string them together to create a nonsense phrase. For greater strength, use a downloadable program such as Diceware that helps you generate word combinations from your throw of multiple dice.
6. Blended Words
String together 3 or more totally unrelated words by breaking apart and re-combining the parts of each word. For instance, combining the words SPOON LIME PUPPY might result in SPOLIPUPP.
7. Annoy Lurkers
Do use a password that can be typed quickly, without having to look at the keyboard. This makes it harder for someone to steal your password by looking at your keyboard (also known as "lurking" or "shoulder surfing"). Do not use keyboard sequences or characters found together such as QWERTY.
Follow those 7 strategy, It will help you to make strong password to protect your important data.

A back nine meltdown by Justin Rose on Sunday handed the Race to Dubai title to Tommy Fleetwood and the $8 million DP World Tour Championship to Jon Rahm.
The English world No6 was leading by one shot after 11 holes of blemish-free golf, and with Fleetwood struggling to post a good score it looked like the 37-year-old was set for a double celebration at the end of the day.
However, things changed dramatically on the back nine. Rose, winner of tournaments in China and Turkey in his last two starts, dropped shots on the 12th, 14th and 16th holes.
Spain's world No5 Rahm seized the opportunity and birdies on the 14th and 16th holes saw him snatch the lead in the tournament.
Rahm, who closed with a five-under par 67, finished on 19-under par 269.
Rose could have still denied Fleetwood by making an eagle on the 18th hole but his effort slid past the cup, handing the European No1 honour to his 27-year-old compatriot.
Rose needed to finish at least solo fourth, but the ensuing birdie only gave him a tied fourth place at 17-under par.
Fleetwood finished tied 21st at 11-under par after a round of two-over 74.
Ireland's Shane Lowry (63) and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat (67) were tied for the second place at 18-under par, while Masters champion Sergio Garcia (65) and the South African duo of Dean Burmester (68) and Dylan Frittelli (69) were tied fourth at 271 alongside Rose.
A delighted Fleetwood, who finished the season on 5,420,529 points and collected the $1.25 million bonus pool cheque, said: "It's the biggest day of my career for sure.
"The emotions were difficult on me because I don't trust computers, so even when everything had finished, it was so difficult to get up or down. Then I felt for Justin a lot, because I'd see him when he came in. But he was so gracious and that shows a lot about his character.
Rose was left scratching his head after the finish after playing brilliant golf for three-and-half days.
"I did hit the wall a bit today. Front nine was beautiful. I was playing great golf and I felt in complete control. The bogey at 12 seemed to slow all the momentum. Front that point it was a bit of a grind," said the 2016 Olympic gold medalist.
"The other guys seemed to do what they needed to do down the stretch, and I knew Jon was going to be a danger today in terms of the Race to Dubai.
"Tommy… I'm pleased for him. He's battled hard all year and put a good week in South Africa and had a great couple of comeback rounds this week to fight back and deserve it. He's been leading all year and it's good for him to finish it off."
Rahm, who is expected to move to No4 when the new world rankings are released on Monday, did most of his scoring over the last 45 holes, in which he was 18-under par.
The 23-year-old Spaniard said: "I think more than proving to anybody else, it's proving to myself that I belong here. I think that was more important.
"I can't tell you what happened on the first 27 holes. It's not like I played bad. It's just I felt like every mistake I made, every bad shot, led to a bogey which is going to be costly here." Tommy Fleetwood won the European Tour Order of Merit after a tense battle with Justin Rose that was decided only on the 72nd green of the DP World Tour Championship, the final event of the season.
Englishman Rose, winner of the Race to Dubai in 2007 and trailing Fleetwood coming into this week, needed to make an eagle putt on the 18th hole, but his effort from off the green slid past the cup, thus handing the European No.1 honour to his 27-year-old compatriot.
Rose needed to finish at least solo fourth, but the birdie only gave him a tied fourth place at 17-under par. Fleetwood finished tied 21st at 11-under par after a round of two-over 74.
Spain's Jon Rahm won the $8 million (6.8 million euros) tournament, firing a five-under par 67 that gave him a one-shot advantage at 19-under par 269 over Ireland's Shane Lowry (63) and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat (67).For all the latest business news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

AWWA ACE 2017 Recap
The American Water Works Association (AWWA) held their Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE 17) at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA last week from June 11-14. Professionals from spanning the water industry were in attendance, including public water, wastewater, researchers, academics, and water advocates from across the US and the globe. With professionals from every water industry in attendance, AWWA ACE was a great opportunity to share industry best practices, learn from peers, and find the latest solutions to water works challenges. Aquabotix exhibited in booth #715 and brought several underwater inspection technologies to demonstrate, including the Endura 100 Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and the AquaLens Connect, both designed for use in potable water tank and reservoir inspections.
The week kicked off on Monday June 12 with an opening video and general session where attendees heard the inside stories and experiences from three AWWA panelists who lead some of North America's most progressive water utility companies. At 10 AM the exhibit hall grand opening drew tens of thousands of professionals into a maze of nearly 500 exhibitor booths where attendees got to see the latest innovations in water works products, software, and services. At noon AWWA hosted a women's networking lunch; and the remainder of the day was filled with a wide range of committee meetings, professional development sessions, and workshops.
Day two was Field Operators' Day, with 54 professional sessions tailored to operators who work hard every day to ensure America has access to clean drinking water and sewer services. Some of the men and women field operators in attendance trained and qualified to compete in a number of water works challenge contests, including the ever-popular (and very enthusiastic) pipe tapping contest.
Day three was Small Utilities Day, with 38 sessions devoted to small utility organizations, many of whom could only attend for the day. Wednesday also featured the final round of the AWWA Contests, and a wrap party celebrating a great week and a look forward to ACE 2018 which will be held in Vegas and starts on a Tuesday instead of a Monday. Photos of the event can be viewed here: https://luster.cc/gallery/awwa-annual-cconference-exposition/
AWWA ACE 2017 also marked the launch of Live Remote Viewing for Aquabotix. Tank and Reservoir inspectors now have the ability to live stream a remote video feed from any Endura or Aqualens Connect, allowing inspectors to give a remote viewing option to the municipalities they are serving. To our knowledge, this is a first for inspection class ROVs in the tank inspection industry, and marks one of many great announcements coming out of ACE 2017.
For those in the water industry, AWWA ACE is a must-attend event. The sheer size of the conference ensures there is a session, a speaker, an exhibitor, or a product that you will connect with and learn from. The future of water works is being shaped by ACE, and we were happy to be a part of the experience. We believe that with the right tools, water tank and reservoir inspections can become a more frequent and less expensive activity. Click here to learn more about the Endura 100 for Tank Inspections.

The Fox 17 Morning Mix team will be at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum all day collecting diapers for families in need at the Diaper Blitz Diaper Drive.
One in four families in West Michigan are living in poverty. While government assistance helps with food, it doesn't cover the cost of diapers.
Fox 17 Morning Mix is teaming up with the Great Start Parent Coalition of Kent County to help them reach the one million mark when it comes to diapers donated in their Drive For One Million.
For every package of diapers donated at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum, that person will get one free admission to the museum.
Diapers of all sizes will be accepted, including packages of diapers that are already opened and unused.
The museum will be open until 5 p.m. and will be accepting donations at the door.
Morning Mix co-hosts Leigh Ann and Todd will be there too, so be sure to stop by and say hi!
Can't make it to the museum? Great Start always accepts donations online at greatstartkent.org.
